My photographic adventures on the other side of the world

The sky moves sideways

Winter has well and truly swept the last remnants of Autumn away, but the transitional period gave us some very interesting atmospheric conditions. I tried to get creative and use a number of different techniques to try to enhance the mood of the photographs. One technique that I have been practicing a lot of late is long exposures and combining a static element with a changeable one. I particularly like the result of using this technique in the third image. The foreground treetops remain sharp, while those behind are completely blurred out due to moving in the wind. Photos 5 and 6 also show the difference in feeling between two different cloud patterns and their brightness.
